NO Public Money To A's Billionaire Owner John Fisher For Stadium In Port Of Oakland

On November 19, 2022 a rally was held at Oakland City Hall to oppose using any public money to build a new stadium for the A's at the Howard Terminal in the Port of Oakland. The politicians in the City of Oakland including the Mayor Libby Schaaf, the Oakland City Council and the Alameda Board of Supervisors are continuing to allow negotiations to give $800 million in public funds to billionaire John Fisher who owns the A's and the GAP corporation to build a stadium at the Howard Terminal in the Port.

Speakers reported on the privatization of public land around the country ad the plans to gentrify and remove the Black and Brown residents through Fisher's development plan to build 3,000 1 million dollar condos and a hotel next to the stadium.

The billionaires project is also being pushed by Liz Ortega-Toro of the Alameda Labor Council, and Andreas Cluver, from the Alameda County Building & Construction Trades Council who is also the president of the Port of Oakland Commission. He is not only for selling off the Howard Terminal for Fisher's stadium but is pushing for a war between the Teamsters and ILWU members by supporting an agreement with Eagle Rock Aggregates, Inc., for a Bulk Marine Terminal Comprising Approximately 18 Acres of Land and 3 Acres of Water at Berths 20-22, Providing for an Initial Term of 12 Years and for the work to be done by Teamsters instead of ILWU who have always done this work.

Port truckers also drove in solidarity around the rally. The Port management is already canceling leases with Port truckers in preparation for turning the port over to Fisher and the A's. Speakers also pointed out that the trucks which now use the Howard Terminal as a staging area will end up on the streets of West Oakland further contributing to pollution in the community.

The rally was sponsored by the United Front Committee For A Labor Party UFCLP
